Fairline Targa 45 GT

I suppose there are worse places to be quarantined than Monaco.

So, it’s hard to feel too sorry for yacht designer Alberto Mancini, separated just nine miles from his native Italy. During the lockdown he’s continuing to bring British boatbuilder Fairline’s heritage into the future with an exciting new model, the Targa 45 GT.

Available in a two- or three-cabin, two-head layout, an owner can further personalize the interior to have either a mid or forward master cabin. Kyle Stenzel, owner of Spring Brook Marina, selected an upgrade of leather seating in the master cabin, scissor beds in forward berths and the Fairline luxury bedding set.

Powered by new twin Volvo IPS650 D-6 480-hp engines, the joystick-controlled yacht carries 286 gallons of fuel and comes with an optional Seakeeper 3 gyro stabilizer. Cleverly concealed in the aft wall is a tender garage complete with hydraulic winch and rollers. This feature begs for a cruise to Georgian Bay.

Below decks, this sleek cruiser utilizes hullside windows to bring in light and a luxurious feel. Gloss walnut interior woodwork and random oak chocolate flooring sparkle when highlighted by the interior mood lighting package.

The cockpit has been designed with multiple uses in mind, from enjoying the warm summer rays to entertaining. A starboard fridge, electric grill and folding teak cockpit table with a cantilever arm for additional tabletop space are complemented by an appliance package that includes a ceramic cockpit bar. With cockpit heating and air conditioning, early spring and late fall cruising is never out of the equation. A sliding glass door expands the cockpit or keeps foul weather away. The helm is modestly equipped with a Garmin GMR 24 HD Radome, and a 12-inch screen for GPS, mapping and Volvo helm management.

While running or at anchor, the Fairline Targa 45 GT stands out.
